LISKEARD AND LOOE RAILWAY, a mineral railway in Cornwall; from a junction with the Liskeard and Caradon, at Liskeard, southward 7 miles to the Looe navigation. It was authorized in 1858; and a capital of £13,000, in £25 shares, was to be provided for it by the Liskeard and Looe Canal company. The steepest gradient in it is 1 in 63. Both this railway and the Liskeard and Caradon act as feeders to the Cornwall railway.
